Akbar and Birbal – Krukan och “visheten”
Once upon a time, King Akbar had an argument with his minister Birbal. King Akbar was so angry that he ordered Birbal to leave the kingdom and go away.
TranslateEn gång i tiden hade kung Akbar ett bråk med sin rådgivare Birbal. Kung Akbar var så arg att han beordrade Birbal att lämna kungariket.
King Akbar said, “Birbal. You have made me very angry. Leave my kingdom and go away immediately. If I find you in my kingdom tomorrow morning, you will be jailed.”
TranslateKung Akbar sa, ”Birbal. Du har gjort mig väldigt arg. Lämna mitt rike och gå omedelbart. Om jag hittar dig i mitt rike imorgon bitti kommer du att fängslas. ”
Birbal was a very obedient minister. He apologised to the king and left the kingdom immediately. He went to a small village and changed his name. He started working in a small farm where he grew watermelons.
TranslateBirbal var en mycket lydig rådgivare. Han bad kungen om ursäkt och lämnade riket omedelbart. Han åkte till en liten by och bytte namn. Han började arbeta på en liten gård där han odlade vattenmeloner.
A few weeks passed and Akbar started to miss Birbal. Birbal was not only his minister but also one of his closest friends. Birbal was the only one who understood what Akbar wanted. He was fearless and always did what was right for the kingdom, sometimes even opposing the views of King Akbar.
TranslateNågra veckor gick och Akbar började sakna Birbal. Birbal var inte bara hans rådgivare utan också en av hans närmaste vänner. Birbal var den enda som förstod vad Akbar ville ha. Han var orädd och gjorde alltid det som var rätt för kungariket, ibland till och med emot kung Akbar.
Akbar thought, “When Birbal was in his court, Birbal would never fail in providing a solution to any problem. I could always trust his judgement.”
TranslateAkbar tänkte, ”När Birbal var i sin domstol skulle Birbal aldrig misslyckas med att hitta en lösning på något problem. Jag kunde alltid lita på hans omdöme. ”
Akbar sent his soldiers to find Birbal but they unsuccessfully returned. Birbal was hiding well just as the king had ordered. No one knew where Birbal was.
TranslateAkbar skickade sina soldater för att hitta Birbal men de återvände utan framgång. Birbal gömde sig bra precis som kungen hade bestämt. Ingen visste var Birbal var.
Akbar made an announcement, “There is only one way in which I can bring him back. I will issue an order. Any man who brings to me, a pot full of wit shall become my advisor and minister. All his crimes shall be pardoned.”
TranslateAkbar skrev ett meddelande, ”Det finns bara ett sätt på vilket jag kan föra honom tillbaka. Jag kommer att utfärda en order. Varje man som kommer till mig, en kruka full av vishet ska bli min rådgivare och minister. Alla hans brott kommer att benådas. ”
This message reached all the villages and even Birbal heard it. He knew that Akbar had forgiven him and wanted to bring him back. Birbal thought of a cunning plan.
TranslateDetta meddelande nådde alla byarna och till och med Birbal hörde det. Han visste att Akbar hade förlåtit honom och ville föra honom tillbaka. Birbal hade på en listig plan.
He went to his farm and found a small watermelon which was still growing. He put it inside the steel pot and watered the plan well for an entire month. The watermelon grew large and stopped growing only when it completely fit the walls of the pot.
TranslateHan åkte till sin gård och hittade en liten vattenmelon som fortfarande växte. Han lade den i en stålkruka och vattnade plantan väl under en hel månad. Vattenmelonen blev stor och slutade växa först när den passade helt i kruka.
Birbal then sent the pot to Akbar saying, “Dear King, this is your pot of wit. Please remove the wit fully without breaking the pot.”
TranslateBirbal skickade sedan krukan till Akbar och sa: ”Kära kung, det här är din vishetsgryta. Ta bort visheten helt utan att krossa krukan”.
Akbar realized that only one man could think of such a funny and intelligent answer. Akbar himself went to the village and brought back Birbal.
TranslateAkbar insåg att bara en man kunde komma på ett så roligt och intelligent svar. Akbar själv gick till byn och tog tillbaka Birbal.
